Ingredients:
- 1 small bunch of kale (stems removed & cut into shreds)
- 4 of your favorite brand of soft tortillas (or pre-made tostadas)
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 can of black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 pkg. salsa
- 1 Hass Avocado
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place 4 soft round tortillas directly on baking sheet for 10 minutes, turning over once halfway through.
- While the tortillas are cooking get all of your shredded kale (about 4 big handfuls) and season with a bit of salt and pepper and a tsp. of olive oil.
- You want to massage the oil, salt and pepper into the kale.
- Keep mixing with your hands until all of the kale is evenly coated.
- Once your tortillas are a nice golden brown color remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Take the black beans and smoosh them a bit with the back of a spoon so that you are able to spread them easily and evenly onto each tostada
To assemble your Krunchy Kale Tostada's you do as follows:
- Take 1 tostada and smear a heaping tsp. full of smooshed black beans;
- Take a tsp. of your favorite salsa and apply that next;
- Then take a large handful of your massaged kale and place that next;
- Take a handful of some shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle generously all over your tostada.
- Finally top it off with some thinly sliced Hass Avocado.
- Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
Tip: If you are "krunched" for time you can buy already made tostadas that are
golden brown and crunchy at your local Mexican specialty food store.
*Large avocados are
recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger
size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
